ALIVE! 2004...

Yawns.. finally came back from the charity carnival ALIVE! 2004 at the Youth Park. Met the rest at 1245 at somerset MRT (although I reached at 1 pm.. ha ha..)Anyway, saw val, shu hui, kat and dexter. Sheena got some cramps.. (you know what cramp lah..) Justin turned up, but later left to meet some friends... %%$*#$#&#@$. Anyway we proceed to Yoshinoya to have lunch then head towards Youth Park.

There isn't very much booths there. But they were interesting enough. A booth set up by MJC performed magic tricks hoping that we'll support them and buy their handicrafts. There was one that offer tattoing service courtesy of ACJC. NYJC also set up their booth selling key chains that are too big to stuff into an average pocket. Of course, the NKF Children Medical Fund ppl were there too to promote their upcoming charity show the next two sundays.

There were performances too by various bands and our very own Talentquest 2003 participants. Some can really sing. And guess what, the guy who appear in Top Fun, whom can mimic Andy Lau, Ronald Cheng, Phil Chang, Jacky Cheung and Aaron Kwok, appear to sing us a few songs and my, was he really great at singing.

In addition to that, a hip-hop dance troupe came down and did some really cool and fabulous dances and moves. Really won a lot of applause.

Following that was a magic show at 5 pm but I missed it as I went with others to give phamplets in order to draw more crowd to the Youth Park. Apparently, many don't know where Youth Park is. Our mascot was a giant sunflower and tagged along. Of course, heart-shaped balloons were given away together with the phamplets. But I think that most people are attracted by the balloons rather than the phamplets.

After all the balloons were given out, we returned to the booth to take a break and watch more singing performances. The last event of the day was a live rock band performance. Didn't really enjoyed it actually. Luckily we are about to proceed to give the last of the phamplets away, so didn't really watch them at all lest one song.

After the phamplet giving, headed for dinner. Val had 4 balloons tied to one another so that when she walked, the whole trail of balloons was following her. Luckily there was no lightning storm. She would make a very good lightning conductor. Hee hee... Anyway had dinner at thie Turkish cafe in Far East. The food there was good although the portions was quite big for the ladies. I ordered a Chicken Pancake. It is essentially chicken kebab in a popiah roll. But the filling was delicious. Should try it someday.

After dinner, headed for home. Shu hui and Wei sheng left for work. Counting the number of ppl who visited the Food Fair 2004. The rest headed for home...

Yawn, and I have reached home and typing this very post. Oh yah... saw the N6230 going for quite a reasonable price. 398 dollars. Hmm.. if I trade in, it'll be 329. And it was only going at 500+ a few weeks back. Talk about price fluctuations. Will get it tomolo when I get my pay. Yay!!!!
